This leads me to another question. I have always fastened the hubs to the
rotors by running the bolts through from the
backside, probably because that's how they were when I bought the car. Now, I
see that, probably, the bolts should be
run through from the outside; i.e. the bold heads would be on the outer side of
the hub.
Now, I'm wondering if I could tack weld the nuts on the inside of the rotor,
avoiding heat embrittlement of the bolts.
Yes, I know how to torque the bolts properly, but without anything to stop them
from turning the nuts or bolts can loosen.
